"Impression on Chopin's Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24/1 (second version)" is a contemporary classical piece composed by Leszek Mozdzer, a Polish jazz pianist and composer. The piece was composed in 2010 and premiered on October 22, 2010, at the National Philharmonic in Warsaw, Poland. The piece is a reimagining of Frédéric Chopin's Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24/1, which was composed in 1836. Mozdzer's version is a modern interpretation of the original piece, incorporating elements of jazz and contemporary classical music. "Impression on Chopin's Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24/1 (second version)" is divided into three movements. The first movement is marked "Moderato," and it begins with a simple, melancholic melody played on the piano. The melody is then repeated with variations, and the piece gradually builds in intensity as more instruments are added. The movement ends with a return to the original melody, played softly on the piano. The second movement is marked "Allegro," and it is a fast-paced, energetic section of the piece. The piano plays a complex, syncopated melody, while the other instruments provide a rhythmic accompaniment. The movement is characterized by its driving rhythm and virtuosic piano playing. The final movement is marked "Lento," and it is a slow, contemplative section of the piece. The piano plays a simple, repetitive melody, while the other instruments provide a soft, atmospheric accompaniment. The movement gradually builds in intensity, with the piano playing more complex variations on the original melody. The piece ends with a return to the original melody, played softly on the piano. Overall, "Impression on Chopin's Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24/1 (second version)" is a complex and dynamic piece of contemporary classical music. Mozdzer's use of jazz and contemporary classical elements gives the piece a unique sound, while still paying homage to Chopin's original composition.
